The Tower of London is an important place in the history of England as well as an impressive landmark. It is a historic place and a popular tourist attraction.
It was founded in 1078 by William the Conqueror. Over the centuries that followed it has been used as a royal palace, a fortress and a prison. Many famous figures from history have been imprisoned there including Lady Jane Grey, Sir Walter Raleigh and Thomas More. It was also used as a place of execution, an armoury, a treasury, a zoo, the Royal Mint, a public records office and an observatory. Since 1303, it has been the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.
Today tourists can visit the Tower and see all the attractions including the Crown Jewels. They can see the famous Yeoman Warders and the ravens that live there. They can also see various exhibitions about the history of the Tower including exhibitions of armour and interactive displays.
The Tower of London is a great place to visit. You can learn a lot about English history and have a great time, too.
